EOATION .FILED -f L11/lll ois..

To all whomit may co'noem:

Be it known that l, JOHN BARLiNG Biz-owls, oi tile village of Dundalk,in. the county of Grey, in the Province olv-Criterio, Comodo, haveinvented certain new sud useful improvements in Holders, of which thefollowing is tlie speci- ,te-tion.v f t,

My inventlon relates to improvements in i0 safety rozor blade holders,lod the oojleot of the invention is to devise o l'orm oi razor 1olodeholder in .vlrielrtlie razor blade may be inolosed for slrorperiing andremoved 'with tlie greatest esse.

A. il'urtliei oliieet is to provide insuring ille razor ola e loeirl lin pleoe when lieiog sliorriene" A 'luratlier oliiet is to so constructtle holder that it may lie manipulated like mi ordinary razor, so es tosharpen the edge oi the olede Without Vsuch "'olsde springing orbending.v4

Another object is to so lori blade es to prevent the razor ps-seing oiltlie strop es it oeiog sliorpeoed.

Another object is to provide against slipping ol' tlio razor lilsdoliolder in the lizmcl os it is being turned over io its liooloverd sindforward mir-lement.

My invention consists oli' razor 7olode holder mede oi tivo membershaving one of the members extending from end to end to iorms lieiidleand one lui-li oi7 tlie blade holder, and another portion hingedintermedio-te ol' the length oi ille aforesaid por-- ion, o spring@steli liold iii 'rlio extreme oir-d of the blade holding portion enddesigned. to oonrieettlre two portions together, the blade holdingportions of tlre two rioembers being beveled from one edge to theopposite edge to form e 'line edge et the point where theloiadelorotrooes, e longitudinal recess having bounding end shoulders,the ports being" otherwise constructed and arranged in detail ashereinafter more particularly exploiiied.

The plunger barcomprises a stem E4, which extends outthrough an orifice E 1n a recessE7 having a reduced end.

ES is a spiral spring, which encircle/s the l stern Ec and is designedto normally hold the bar E2 in engagement with the notch E of the pin Eand thus hold the two portions B and A2 of the holder, so as to normallygrip and hold the razor blade D. The stem E4 is provided kwith a buttonE at the end. l

By pressing on the but-ton Es the bar E2 is l disengaged from thenotched pin E and the j member B may be swung '1p and the plate fremoved and changed around, so that the opposite edge projects beyondthe gripping l a co-acting member hinged intermediate `ofA edge of themember and portion A2 of the member A.

I am aware that it is not new to make razor blade holders having onevportion i hinged to the other and the blade gripped inv between them,and I am also aware that val rious means have been devised for fasteningthe two portions together. I, therefore, do not wish to lay claimbroadly to any such construction.

What I claim as my invention is:

'.1. A safety 'razor blade holder comprising a main member having ahandle portion, and a blade holding portion of less thickness and thelength of the main member on the inner end of the handle, andadetachable means located at the outer extremities of the main bladeholding portion and the cc-acting blade holding portion for removablyconnecting the blade holding portions together at their outer ends asand for the pu ose specified.

2. A safety razor blade hol er comprising a main member having ahandle'portion, and a blade holding portion of less thickness and aco-acting member hinged intermediate of the length of the main member onthe inner end of the handle, and a detachable means" located at theouter extremities of the/main blade holding portion and the eoeactingblade holding portion for connecting the blade holding ortions together,the central ortions of tlie blade holding portions being eveled from onesidel to the other to a knife edge, so as to form shoulders at the endsof the said portions as and for the purpose specified.

3. A safety razor blade holder comprising a main member having a handleportion, and a blade holding portion of less thickness and a co-actingmember hinged intermediate of the length of the main member on the innerend of the handle, a pin at the outer end on one blade holding portionhaving a cross notch, and a spring-held bar and plunger held in a recessin the end of the other blade holding lportion and designed to co-actwith the note ed pin aforesaid. as and for the purpose specified.
